A charity has asked the UN to intervene over a British-Iranian girl detained in Tehran for 22 months.

Human rights organisation Redress has written to the UN, claiming Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s continued detention amounts to torture.

She was arrested on snooping charges in April 2016, accused of plotting to overthrow the Iranian government.

Her husband Richard said his wife has experienced difficulty strolling as well as extreme hair and weight loss.

Redress has written to the UN special rapporteur on behalf of the mother’s household, stating that evidence “strongly suggests” Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s treatment amounts to torture.
